DISPATCH PROTOCOL - DAILY CYCLE

FROM: Office of Cryptographic Doctrine

TO: All Active Field Operatives

RE: Standard 24-Hour Encrypted Broadcast

I. Cycle Definition

At precisely 00:00:00 UTC each calendar day, the Cipher oracle signs and posts a single encrypted dispatch to the on-chain vault. The dispatch consists of: (a) a ciphertext payload of variable length; (b) a method tag identifying the encryption family used; (c) a difficulty stamp; and (d) the hash of the canonical plaintext answer.

II. Submission Window

Submission is open for the full 24-hour cycle. The first wallet whose plaintext submission hashes to the canonical answer receives ██████████ percent of the accumulated daily pot. Subsequent guesses still pay the 1 $CIPHER fee but no longer affect settlement.

III. Anti-Replay Doctrine

The oracle wallet is barred from submission. Replay of prior plaintext is detected at hash level and is grounds for permanent revocation. See Memo 04 for enforcement.

POT MECHANICS

FROM: Treasury Liaison · Vault Operations

RE: Daily Pot Sourcing and Settlement

I. Seed Capital

At deploy, 10 percent of total $CIPHER supply is parked in the Vault as the cumulative pot reserve. Each per-attempt fee adds directly to the active pot. Unsolved pots roll into the next dispatch with no cap.

II. Per-Attempt Fee

Each submission costs 1 $CIPHER, charged before the answer is checked. Wrong guesses pay the next winner. There is no free attempt and no penalty layer beyond the fee itself.

III. Settlement Order

Upon a qualifying solve, the contract atomically transfers 85 percent to the winning wallet, rolls 10 percent into the next dispatch's seed, and burns 5 percent via █████████████████████. The Dossier NFT auto-mints to first-time solvers in the same tx.

DIFFICULTY TAXONOMY

FROM: Doctrine & Theme Committee

RE: Weekly Difficulty Schedule

I. Tier Definitions

Four difficulty tiers are recognised. EASY uses a single-pass substitution of well-known family. MODERATE introduces parameter secrecy. HARD layers transposition or keyed substitution. ENIGMA combines two or more methods, often with a steganographic component drawn from prior dispatches.

II. Weekly Cadence

Monday through Wednesday: EASY to MODERATE. Thursday and Friday: MODERATE to HARD. Saturday: ENIGMA tier, multi-stage. Sunday: rest dispatch - typically a thematic memo, scored cosmetic only.

III. Hint Discipline

Partial hints drop only on HARD and ENIGMA tiers, at T+06:00 relative to dispatch. Hints are signed by the oracle and visible to all active terminals. Hint windows are not retroactive.

ANTI-BRUTE DOCTRINE

FROM: Vault Operations · Counter-Brute Desk

RE: Per-Attempt Fee and Position-Taken Posture

I. Per-Attempt Fee

Every guess costs 1 $CIPHER, charged before the answer is checked. The fee accumulates in the active pot regardless of outcome. There is no free attempt and there is no per-wallet cap.

II. Brute Economics

Brute-force grinding pays the pot itself. Wrong guesses by a thousand bots feed the next winner. The desk approves of this and treats every guess as a position taken, not a free roll. Repeated abuse is instead subject to █████████████.

III. Public Ledger

Each submission emits a public receipt logged to the vault. Receipts are aggregated by wallet and surfaced on the operative dossier. No claim of ignorance is recognised at the desk level.

ORACLE TRUST MODEL

FROM: Oracle Audit Bureau

RE: Trust Boundary, Audit, and Termination Conditions

I. Trust Boundary

The oracle wallet alone may post dispatches. Its private key is held under a 3-of-5 threshold scheme by the Doctrine Desk. Operatives are not asked to trust the oracle absolutely - they are asked to trust the audit.

II. Weekly Audit

Each Sunday, the Audit Bureau publishes a signed reconciliation of the prior week: dispatches posted, hashes verified, payouts executed, burns assessed. Discrepancies of any size trigger an immediate freeze.

III. Termination

Detection of oracle wallet submission, of pre-image leakage, or of any non-canonical settlement constitutes grounds for termination of the project. The keeper retains an emergency wind-down path on the Treasury for return-of-funds in this case only, gated by ██████████.

TREASURY YIELD DISTRIBUTION

FROM: Office of Treasury Operations

RE: V4 Surcharge Routing and Weekly Distribution

I. Surcharge Source

The Uniswap V4 hook attached to the CIPHER/ETH pool computes 0.7 percent of the unspecified-side delta on every swap and pulls those tokens directly to the Treasury via ██████████████. Buyers pay in $CIPHER. Sellers pay in ETH.

II. Weekly Distribution

Each 7-day epoch the Treasury distributes its accumulated balance: 70 percent flows to dossier holders pro-rata weighted by tier; 20 percent rolls into the next epoch's buffer; 10 percent of the $CIPHER side is burned via burnFromTreasury. ETH does not burn.

III. Claim Posture

Distribution writes per-account claim balances. Operatives call claim() at their own pace, paying their own gas. Yield does not expire, does not vest, and is not clawback-able by the desk.
